Calendar of Events

Join Chimney Rock’s naturalist and our favorite NC rodent to find out if spring is coming early or if we have six more weeks of winter. This fun event includes our resident groundhog seeking his shadow, animal demonstrations with a few of his ambassador friends and critter crafts.

We could all use a little TLC this year. Cheer yourself up by spreading the love this Valentine’s Day. Join NC card-making artist Margaret Cogswell for a virtual valentine-making event. Participants will be guided through a basic card-making technique that can be used for all kinds of cards. Participants will also learn more about the “cupid crew,” a group who makes sure a card you create gets to people in long-term care who really need a pick-me-up. We look forward to creating and spreading the love with you!

If you choose to make cards with us, you will need the following supplies:

• heavy card stock- 81/2” x 11”, Valentine colors- solids and/or patterned- 8-12 sheets
• glue stick
• decorative paper with Valentine colors and patterns
• scissors
• scrap sheets of paper to use as a gluing surface and to make templates
• ruler
• pencil and eraser
• red, black and white gel pen
• envelopes for your cards- example: 4 3/8” x 5 3/4” or 5 1/4” x 7 1/4”
• Optional- heart shaped paper punches

If you choose not to make cards, you can learn more about the cupid-crew and print a downloadable card here.
